Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy spur of Post-Medieval date. One terminal survives, the remainder of the object now missing due to old breaks. It comprises two openwork elements that are rectangular in cross section and would have originally attached to the end of one arm of the now missing spur. The first element is triangular in form with two circular apertures followed by a large triangular perforation. This tapers to a projecting transverse collar from which extends the second openwork element. Thsi is semi-circular in form with scalloped(?) outer edge and two circular apertures that contain extensive iron corrosion. It measures 31.58mm in total length, 15.10mm in width, 2.96mm in thickness and 4.18g in weight.This is the terminal end from a spur of Post-Medieval date. A number of similar examples have been recorded through the PAS from Suffolk and elsewhere, including a more complete example from Lancashire (LANCUM-D569A3, see also YOYRM-246026, NMS-A8C102, SF-E64237). It is of Post-Medieval date, probably c.17th century AD.
